Let’s start with a simple yet essential tip: if you want to have well-hydrated skin, it’s imperative to ... drink enough water every day.
It’s thought adults need to drink around 1.5 liters of water a day (approximately 6-8 glasses) in order to maintain an adequate water supply to the dermis, the skin’s deeper layer.
Conversely, it’s important to avoid alcohol, cigarettes, excessive sun exposure … in short, anything that increases water evaporation and impairs hydration in general, and hydration of the skin in particular (1).
Endowed with natural cleansing properties, lemons are rich in acids, flavonoids and vitamin C. Used topically, lemon juice’s acids remove dead skin cells, and reduce dandruff and bruising (2).
Do you have oily skin or problem blackheads? To purify your skin, add a teaspoon of sugar and a few drops of sweet almond oil to half a lemon (organic and untreated). Gently rub the moistened lemon on your face using circular movements to exfoliate your epidermis.
Healthy skin also requires a vitamin-rich diet. Vitamins A, B2 and B3 are recognized for helping to maintain normal skin, while vitamin C plays a role in normal collagen formation which is needed for healthy skin function (3-4). A probiotic formulation such as Derma Relief, for example, is enriched with vitamins B2 and C.
In terms of skin health, the most popular vitamin remains B8, or biotin. This essential ‘beauty vitamin’ helps maintain healthy skin, mucous membranes and even hair. It is found in foods such as chicken livers, beef kidneys, brewer’s yeast...
Certain dietary supplements offer a convenient way of increasing your biotin intake. They include, for example, Biotin, the beauty supplement Daily Beauty (which also contains collagen peptides), and Natural Skin Formula (also rich in hyaluronic acid).
With a composition that’s 95% water, as well as being packed with vitamins and minerals, cucumber has long been used for its beauty benefits(5).
Placing slices of cucumber on your eyes for a short time can, for example, help reduce puffiness and dark rings. Applying a mask of crushed cucumber mixed with natural yogurt to the face can help smooth the skin and brighten the complexion.
An extra little tip – chill your cucumber in the fridge for 15 minutes before applying to your face. The coldness conferred by the cucumber helps to decrease blood flow and reduce bags under the eyes... You can also use cold compresses or ice cubes wrapped in a towel.
Did you know that in addition to its key antioxidant properties, turmeric also helps to maintain healthy skin? (6). In fact, one of its main active ingredients, curcumin, is regularly used to treat dermatological problems (7).
All of which makes cooking up a delicious curry even more appealing, right? And to gain even more of turmeric root’s benefits on a daily basis, you could also take a course of turmeric supplements (such as Super Curcuma).
Last but not least, the trace element zinc also helps to maintain healthy skin and is thus a great ally to your skincare regimen.
In fact, the skin undergoes constant cell renewal, a process which places great demands on enzymes and zinc based proteins, hence the importance of this mineral (11).
In terms of zinc-rich foods, good sources include oysters, calves’ liver, braised beef and rye bread. To boost your intake, you could take a beauty supplement that contains zinc. Choose, for example, the excellent Skin Ceramides, rich in zinc as well as ceramides, essential components of the skin’s hydrolipidic barrier.

Supersmart is a reliable company. I know my product will arrive, and I am always charged exactly as ordered. Supersmart carries high-quality supplements. My last package, the Mastic Gum package is badly deformed from the shipment, but I checked inside and the content is preserved in tact.
